Desirable

• In this role, you will work onsite with our customers to solve their silicon design and verification problems using Normal EDA
• You will typically partner closely with one client in a given location, but will travel to co-locate with the broader Normal Computing team as needed
• Normal EDA is an AI system that generates and helps maintain internally consistent verification collateral such as chip specifications, test plans, stimulus, coverage models, and formal representations
• This role requires strong product strategy, client communication, and technical skills
• You will be partnered with forward deployed machine learning and silicon engineers, and be responsible for production impact at F500 semiconductor companies
• On a day to day basis, you will work with client engineering teams to deeply understand their workflows and problems, and synthesize those into a roadmap for both our engineering team on the ground and the wider Normal Computing engineering team
• Success in this role is measured by production deployments, sustained customer value, measurable shifts in verification workflows driven by Normal, and the ability to tailor and scale deployments to meet diverse customer needs
• Understand customer verification workflows, technical constraints, and objectives in depth, and design and execute deployment plans that are tailored to their needs and goals
• Lead technical engagements and customer enablement sessions that deepen customer understanding of Normal and accelerate effective use in production settings, including training and workshop style interactions
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues spanning software, infrastructure, workflows, and configurations
• Partner with Forward Deployed Engineers, Product, Engineering, and GTM teams to refine deployment processes and technical integration
• Turn early pilots and evaluations into stable, sustained production deployments with demonstrable value
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to create scalable, low friction patterns and tools for future customer deployments
• Act as a source of real deployment experience for internal teams, surfacing gaps, edge cases, and workflow feedback that informs product decisions
• Own deployments end to end, from initial planning through sustained usage
